No blunt objects shall be thrown as feared! At least on my watch! :)

People care because they are invested in the community as a whole, and
I think the thought of such a major change does bring fear. I think
that is totally natural and honestly I feel the same way. Also at the
same time, I think we risk letting the fear control us. Thus prohibits
us and prevents us from what may be the right direction. In part, that
is also why we need to talk through these things. :)

That is my perception as to why there is push back. Everyone has a
different context, and that brings value to the discussion.
